I teach students about art, creativity, and visual problem solving at Carthage Junior High. My wife is also an art teacher, and my three kids are all into their own arts, music, drama, imaginary unicorn development!

Ugly jugs

Edgefield, SC is the home of face jugs. My students explore this tradition by making their own. We start by viewing a video by PBS called "History Detectives: Face Jug" that explains its history. Then demo and hands on clay. We slab build a cylinder on day one, day 2,3 we add handle and face.
